JunkyardDog06 Posted February 6, 2021 Share Posted February 6, 2021 Something blew out on the transmission on my 2006 Outback, and I am looking to replace the entire transmission. I am hearing mixed stories about whether a 2008 / 2009 A/T will work in a 2006. I have the four speed sport shift version. Gear ratios on the 2006 look to be the same as 2008, so I don't see why a 08 or 09 A/T would not work in a 06. I do suspect the wiring harnesses may be different, as the part number on the 2006/2007 A/T is: 3100AG560 and 2008 has both 3100AH310 or 3100AH350. Has anyone installed a 2008 or 2009 A/T into a 2006 / 2007 ? If so, what if anything needs to be swapped ? Any help will be much appreciated.

Rcnesneg Posted February 9, 2021 Share Posted February 9, 2021 legacypic.uk has a list of all the transmission codes and ratios. I don't know if that helps. For the 5EAT, 2005-2007 has a limited slip rear differential with no VDC, and 2008-2009 has an open rear diff with VDC. I don't think you'd have to worry about that for the 4EAT but they did get VDC standard for 2009 so it's worth looking at that. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
